creeping into a window
in the dead of night.

Very large carp kites
waving their tails in the wind
red, blue, yellow mixed.

about four hiking humans
high up on Flagstaff.

Beautiful poetry Corbin- I love Hawaii! How fun!
ReplyDeleteMoving in chaotic rhythm
just to fall over in weary exhaustion
two puppies up again
lick a baby's toes;
giggles tunneling through space
Who could resist that laughter?
Thank you Mrs. Mahoney your poem is excellent too!

Bubbles floating around the room in all shapes and sizes.

Two floating all by themselves and the rest together.
bubbles floating around the space.

If I were a Bird by Brooks Ulrich
ReplyDeleteIf I were a bird, I would be so happy because it would be so fun to fly!
To go where you want and to be in the sky.
To do a loop.
But to eat worms, gross!
Dear Mrs. Mahoney,
ReplyDeleteHow is your summer going? Have you gone to the pool yet? I've been there lots of times. I have also been to a lot of sleep-overs and birthday parties. Has Noah been to any sleep-overs?
I have also been with AJ and Ashley and get in a little trouble, but sometimes we get along. How is Greg? Has he cried a lot or has Noah taken care of him?
I hope you are having a good summer.
Your student,
Brooks Ulrich

And his book review:
http://shosukesbookreports.blogspot.com/
Ava here. Just wanted to post the first chapter of THE MAZE OF RACHEL.
ReplyDeleteChapter one:
The contestants lined up at the starting line. " Welcome to the MAZE OF RACHEL", a booming voice said. " Remember, only one of you will make it to the finish." The contestants took one final glance at one another. A horn blared, and the race began!
From the floating object in the sky, Rachel controlled the race. She looked out into the course, and saw that the girl with the high blond ponytail was in the lead. She pressed a button.A wall shot up under her. the girl jumped, then quickly moved forward. Missed!, she thought. Rachel pulled back a long, black lever. A hill rose out of the ground. The girl tried to jump off, but it rose too quickly! The walls went were carved straight, too steep too slide down. ' Wha ha ha ha ha!", she cried, tightening her grip on a large rope.
Rachel found herself sitting back in her crummy old desk. Great, she thought. Now I'll never know what happens. She looked around the room, and to her surprise found everyone staring back. She tried to find some clue on what was going on, but everyone's expression was either blank or anxious.
" Rachel", said Mrs. Malooney. Rachel turned to face her teacher, her expression now blank. " Never mind", she said. " I'll pick someone else".
Hands shot into the air. Nayell started to speak, but Rachel pulled the plug in her ears. There was something she could not plug out, though. It was Krista Brownfield and Abby Fisher mocking her! Abby pulled a dumb look on her face, and the two girls erupted in laughter. Then they started whispering, glancing at her every few seconds.
Someday I'll show them, she thought. Someday.
Thanks for reading, and please comment on what you might want changed in the first chapter or requests for the next!

Iteresting start; where do you get your ideas for your stories?
DeleteAva, again.
DeleteWell, it's kind've a weird story on the inspiration for this story. At my old scool, during L.A., Sophia, Rachel, and I were paired up to read a story from our textbook. Rachel was goofing off, alot! She started saying that she'd already read the story and she knew what it was about. When we asked her, she said it was about tiny little people traveling threw her body. They eventually came out her ear.
That's not what the story was about, but it gave me a great idea for a story. I changed a bit of what Rachel told us though. Instead of having tiny people wander inside her, I'd make it normal sized people wander around a Maze. Instead of having the people come out of an ear, I'd have only one of them come out of the Maze's end ( or many, it depends on how I decide to make the story).
Since Rachel is my friend, I decided to combine us to make one character. Sometimes kids would pick on me, so I put that into our character. Since Rachel goes into her own world ( most of the time) during class, I decided to put that into the character, too.
So, that's how I got the inspriation to write this story ( pretty odd, right?):P
